Plants that are shipped as "Seedlings" are in small plugs that can be planted just the way they are. It's important to cover our soil with native soil from the hole you dug. http://www.morsenursery.com/news.php?nPath=7&nID=11 20090425 We are asked many times a year "What are your hours?" Hundreds of customers a year visit our nursery to pick their plants up and we look forward to seeing our friends every year, however we are not a garden center and have no "Retail hours." As the grower we are not set up for browsing or shopping kinds of retail activities. Orders can be placed before your scheduled arrival by phone, catalog or on our website. http://www.morsenursery.com/news.php?nPath=7&nID=8 20061220 Tree size does matter but not in the way you would ever think!   Tree size or growing wood is not our priority and you will be surprised why! We are using techniques that hopefully help our trees break their juvenility or become able to produce fruit and nuts at an earlier age. Two of the techniques we use are to withhold nitrogen to very small amounts and air prunes the roots. This holds back the plants growth of wood and helps the tree divert it’s energy to bud and root development. http://www.morsenursery.com/news.php?nPath=8&nID=7 20060127 Antique-Heritage Apple It may come as a surprise to most people but Apple Trees are not native to America. The origin most agree with is somewhere from the Middle East. So where did antique or as some say heritage apple trees come from? Are they worth having, growing or saving?  If you guessed Johnny Apple Seed as to where they came from, you would be correct and they are most definitely worth having or saving because in many cases, they taste better to us and maybe more importantly to the wildlife we are feeding. http://www.morsenursery.com/news.php?nPath=7&nID=6 20060113 Jiffy forestry pellets are a little smaller than a Coke can but shaped the same. They are a soil less medium of chopped sphagnum moss held together with a type of biodegradable netting that holds everything together. These Jiffy pellets are placed in patented trays that air prune the seedlings roots by insuring the pellets don't touch and air is circulating around 100% of where the roots will emerge. http://www.morsenursery.com/news.php?nPath=5&nID=5 20060112 Hybrid Plants             Hybrid Plants are naturally occurring crosses created by open pollination that are frequently written about and have been known for years. Hybrids are nature’s way of evolving and adapting to a changing world often becoming superior to its pure species parents. Hybrids are simply plants that have naturally cross pollinated in the wild producing a cross of the two or more parents to produce a new species. http://www.morsenursery.com/news.php?nPath=4&nID=4 20050729 Great help site with lots of pictures to help you determine how to keep your fruit trees healthy! http://www.caf.wvu. http://www.morsenursery.com/news.php?nPath=3&nID=3 20050712 The provided link is a study done by Michigan State University about tree shelters. http://forestry.msu. http://www.morsenursery.com/news.php?nPath=2&nID=2 20050711 All purpose fruit sprays may be used to replace specific materials listed on this sheet, observe label restrictions.
